1. Record the patient's dental condition in detail: By taking photos, the dentist can record the patient's current dental condition, including the arrangement of teeth, occlusal relationship, gingival condition, etc. In order to compare with the final results during treatment.
2. Make a correction plan: Dentists need to know the patient's dental condition and problems before they can make the most suitable correction plan. By taking photos, dentists can more intuitively observe the problems of patients' teeth, such as uneven dentition and malocclusion, so as to determine the most appropriate correction method.
3. Ensure the smooth progress of the treatment process: In the process of correction, taking photos regularly can help dentists monitor the treatment effect so as to adjust the treatment plan in time. At the same time, by comparing the photos before and after, the dentist can evaluate the treatment effect more accurately and ensure the smooth progress of treatment.
4. Confirm the health status of teeth: By taking photos, dentists can observe the status of teeth and gums to confirm whether the teeth are healthy and whether there are potential oral problems. This helps to ensure that patients will not be affected by oral problems during the correction process.
In short, taking photos before orthodontics is to ensure the smooth progress of treatment, improve the treatment effect, and also help to confirm the health status of teeth. Therefore, if orthodontics is needed, it is necessary to take a photo with the doctor.
